Fall Shenanigans, Book Giveaway and Podcast! :)

November 3, 2017

I wanted to share a few quilty things I’ve been up to this Fall. 🙂 I went antiquing last weekend and came across the perfect, vintage wooden frame for my La Conner mini quilt! This quilt was made by Alli of Woodberry Way using La Conner fabrics. You can find the pattern called Sweet Marie from Alli’s shop, right HERE. I have plans to hang this in my dining room.

Now for some shop news for my sad and neglected shop…lol. I will be posting some La Conner bundles and scissors on my blog shop shortly, including signed copies of both of my books. I just need to get the shipping squared away.

La Conner scissors – they match the fabric! <3

We’ve been having a lovely Autumn here in Seattle and every nice weekend it’s been a corn mazin’, cider drinkin’, pumpkin patchin’ kinda day. I live for days like this!

When I was treasure hunting last weekend I also brought home this vintage quilt (shown behind those lovely dahlias, below). I saw this quilt about a month ago and contemplated getting it. At the time I decided against it, but it always stayed close to my heart. When I saw it was still available, I knew it was meant to be!

Some other fun news…! On Monday at 1:00 pm Pacific (4:00 pm Eastern, 3:00 pm Central, 2:00 pm Mountain) I will be interviewed on the American Patchwork and Quilting podcast hosted by Pat Sloan, the voice of quilting! 🙂

Some other fun stuff…a couple weeks ago I hosted a QAYG workshop for the Seattle Modern Quilt Guild! I truly had so much fun and had a wonderful bunch of people in my class. I loved meeting each and every one of them!

Everyone left with a FINISHED quilt as you go pin cushion, a pair of scissors and pins! 🙂

Didn’t their cushions turn out great?!

Anyway, that’s all for now. I hope you all have a wonderful November ahead!

No better way to end this post than a corgi on a quilt. 😉 Hello from Paige!

Sometimes Jera I would so love to be able to live in the US. Then I could come to a class of yours and gain a bit of confidence with QAYG. Oh to be able to make such gorgeous things. I have been spoilt by a friend from the US who sent me a charm pack and some scissors from your La Conner range, I just have to think of what to do with them. Oh now I see your book competition is only open to people in the US too, bother !! Anyway thanks for being an inspiration.
P.s The photo pf ypu and your boys in the corn is priceless, so lovely.

Ahhhhh….already purchased your second book (I have the first one too) so I’ll have to let someone else win lol. I had it on my Christmas wishlist, but couldn’t wait until then lol. Can’t wait to make something from it. I’ve only made some pillows from the first book, but I just love the QAYG method. And I love your new La Conner line. I’m still working on my quilt using your High Tea fabrics. Love, love, love them. And as cute as your kids are, I always love the pictures of Paige. So silly. I have a corgi too.

Hello. I’m writing from Stray Threads Quilt Guild in Redmond WA. My guild is hosting a quilt show in October 2018 (26th & 27th) and were wondering if you would be interested in being a guest designer. We are seeking local designers that we can feature for a 3 hour meet & greet on one of the days. How can I reach you?
